Fast times in the 1960s

Well, maybe not. The linked article shows 0 to 60 times and quarter mile times and speeds for 5 of the quickest muscle cars in the late 60s. I’m not impressed. My family sedan does 0 to 60 in the fives, and there are a lot of modern cars that also do it. Better braking and reliability too. Hey, I can even buy a new car that will run rings around the 5 in the article for half the price.

Modern technology has yielded cars with better acceleration, coupled with MUCH better gas mileage, much better handling, and much better braking. And then, there is also the passenger protection factor.

Yet there are regulars who claim the cars from the 1980s and 1990s are better in every way :grin:
